You view security roles with Administration | Security Roles. The window contains the following:

Name: Click this heading to sort the list by name. Click again to reverse the order (from ascending to descending or vice versa).

Description: Click this heading to sort the list by description. Click again to reverse the order.

Enable Filter: Lets you set up a filter to select which records should be shown in the table. For more information, see Table Filters.

Details section: Shows information about the selected security role.

Users section: Shows which users have the selected security role.

Edit/View: Opens an editor window to display the selected record. This version of MainBoss doesn't let you edit the built-in role records, so Edit actually has the same effect as View.

Print: Opens a window that lets you print security role information. For more, see Printing Security Role Records.

Refresh: Updates the list to reflect any recent changes.

Search: Lets you search through the list of records for a particular record. For more information, see Searching for a Particular Record. The Search button has an accompanying drop-down list containing the following:

Find Next: Uses the same search condition(s) as your most recent search and finds the next record in the table that matches the condition(s). If the search reaches the end of the table without finding a matching record, it goes to the start of the table and continues the search.

Find Previous: Same as Find Next except that it goes backward in the table. If the search reaches the start of the table without finding a matching record, it goes to the end of the table and continues the search.

For more information on role records, see Security Roles. For more information on creating or editing role records, see Editing Security Role Records. For how to print role records, see Printing Security Role Records. For general information on table viewers, see Using Table Viewers.
